Do you any kind of charcoal for this?

no, it is designed for a stove which would be inside where you should never use charcoal.

DO NOT buy this piece of çrap'!! I opened the box and immediately saw how cheaply built it was...and dangerous due to the shallow mote that must be constantly filled w/water to prevent flare-ups. There are excellent 'iron' grills available @ Asian stores--or online thru various outlets

No, it sits on top of your stove and uses the gas flames or electric coil to heat up, this is why they say not to use it on glass-top stoves. They mention that it might be better to remove the grate above the gas flame, but on my stove that makes the grill uneven, and it spills enough as it is with the grate keeping it level.

I'm sorry but I don't know. Mine is charcoal. I would suggest checking with Cuisinart. Good luck

Yes, you can throw some wood chips in the charcoal and keep put the lid on. This would would work best with indirect cooking and given the size of this Smokey Joe it may just not be big enough.

Wood charcoal... you can. Lump charcoal will damage it according to the Cook-Air people.... Western woods works great. Best steak I ever did on a bbq.

I use Ram Golden Charcoal, in a silver wrapper with blue and pink designs on the wrapping. Bought it at my local smoke shop

Yes. Just be cautious of fire temp. If you get it really high you will warp the charcoal grate

humm...I assume you are using "lump" charcoal. On that basis try lighting it with a torch or one of the little wax impregnated compressed wood lighters. Lump cam be difficult to light, once you get the hang of it no problem.

I use this charcoal in my large Weber. I find that I have to time my fires carefully, or I loose the heat. That said, I do like this charcoal for most of my cooking needs. I sometimes break up the larger pieces if I need a hotter fire, More medium to small pieces seem to give me a hotter fire.

You may purchase large containers of deactivated charcoal at any place that sells aquarium supplies. It is cheap! Make sure you rinse the cartridge before installing as there is black dust on the charcoal. Fill the cartridge 3/4 full.

I use " Lump Charcoal " It is wonderful and can be purchased at any hardware store. Also when you are done cooking just shut the grill lid and the vents and the fire will go out saving any unburned charcoal.

You can ignite the gas side with the burners but need a starter on the charcoal side. We use those paraffin/sawdust squares or "fat wood".

I haven't tried that, but I wouldn't think so. The opening is about 13 or 14 inches. I usually use a couple of pieces of matchlight to start up the plain charcoal (all matchlight seems to put a chemical taste in the food).

Yes, you can. I advise wood first and chunk charcoal. Once flame down, and coals all burning, place top back on chimmea. This ensures enough heat for baking.

I did. I removed the gravel at the bottom and replaced it with charcoal. Their is a plastic piece that divides the bottom from the sponges.

You can pile your charcoal in one end and cook as little as you want. It is a really nice grill and will outlast almost all others if you keep it reasonably clean.

Yes. The grill uses only a small amount of charcoal and most just burns down to ashes. You can also put a sheet of aluminium foil on the bottom of the grill and fold up the ashes once cool. I have not found this to be a problem. I think it is a great product.
